Drake told Rap-Up.com of his debut project, “This is my first album and it takes a lot for me to commit to a song and be like, ‘I like this enough that I’m gonna put it on the album,’” he told Rap-Up.com. “It’s gotta be something that I feel is timeless and is better than anything that I’ve ever done.”

Are you guys ready for Drake’s Thank Me Later?????

Low “Don’t worry, ill have it early for you guys to preview” Key

List of Drugs Found at MJ's Estate Released

According to TMZ.com, a newly released search warrant reveals what drugs were discovered at Michael Jackson’s house at the time of his death.

Among the drugs listed, was a light blue canvas bag that contained vials of propofol that were administered to Jackson before his passing. The vials were put in a plastic bag and then placed in the canvas bag. Paramedics were unaware of the canvas bag or its content when they arrived at Jackson’s residence the day of his death. See the list of drugs below.

- 3 - 10 mg/ml 1% lydocaine vials (2 empty, 1 3/4 full)
- 1 empty bottle propofol 200 mg
- 1 pulse monometer
- 1 empty vial lorazepam 4 mg
- 2 empty vials midazolam 10mg
- 1 empty vial propofol 1g/100ml

- 200mg vials of propofol (1 full, 1 1/4 full)

In related news, Jackson’s estate has filed legal papers stating that the King of Pop was not domestically tied to anyone at the time of his death. According to TMZ, the documents were filed in a L.A. County Superior Court last Friday (March 26).

Ironically, this week two separate hearings are scheduled for “spousal property” by several women claiming to be Jackson’s widow.

Fabregas joy for Gunners

HE'LL PLAY ... Cesc Fabregas


CESC FABREGAS will be fit to line up against Barcelona tomorrow, according to his dad.

Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger feared the midfielder would miss the Champions League tie after the Spaniard suffered bruising to his right leg and knee at Birmingham on Saturday.

But his dad Francesc is confident he will face his former club in the quarter-final clash.

He said: "The blow hurts a lot less now and it seems to be just a knock, nothing more serious.

"I think Cesc will play. Although he may not be at his best he will do everything he can to be part of it."

Gunners keeper Manuel Almunia has insisted: "I don't listen to critics."

He came under fire when he failed to hold on to Kevin Phillips' equaliser for Brum.

But Almunia said: "I will not let it get to me. I prefer to analyse my performances with the people I work with."

Is the racing robot so well programmed that he can't even swear properly?
A foul-mouthed Formula One Lord like Brit hero JAMES HUNT would turn in his grave at that level of professionalism.

Workers to give out 2.5 billion condoms in SAfrica

JOHANNESBURG – Thousands of health workers will help hand out 2.5 billion condoms and test 15 million people for HIV as part of the world's largest campaign in the country hardest hit by the virus, the health minister said Thursday.

After years of official denial and delay, South Africa's government last year embarked on an anti-AIDS drive, vowing to halve new infections and ensure that 80 percent of those who need them have access to AIDS drugs by 2011.

After years of official denial and delay, South Africa's government last year embarked on an anti-AIDS drive, vowing to halve new infections and ensure that 80 percent of those who need them have access to AIDS drugs by 2011.

Health Minister Dr. Aaron Motsoaledi has asked 9,000 retired South African doctors and health workers to help with testing and counseling during the $190 million campaign. He also has asked universities to lend their final-year medical students during the campaign's first week.

Every person receiving HIV counseling and testing will receive 100 male condoms each, and 1 billion others will be distributed to public facilities, including FIFA-accredited hotels for football fans during the upcoming World Cup tournament, Motsoaledi said.

The campaign being launched April 15 also will treat rape victims and encourage male circumcision as a measure to prevent the virus that causes AIDS.

The testing campaign hopes to "bring HIV out of the shadows and into the mainstream, helping to erode some of the stigma around the disease", said Mark Heywood of the South African National AIDS Council, the government-supported coalition behind the campaign.

Some 500 general practitioners already have pledged to provide free testing at their practices. Testing will take place at all government hospitals, clinics, some universities and pharmacies, as well as in mobile units sent to remote rural areas.

South Africa, a nation of about 50 million, has an estimated 5.7 million people infected with HIV, more than any other country.

President Jacob Zuma has been applauded for turning around AIDS policies after President Thabo Mbeki's stance was blamed for hundreds of thousands of premature deaths. Mbeki questioned whether HIV caused AIDS and his health minister distrusted drugs developed to keep patients alive, instead promoting garlic and beet treatments.

In contrast, Zuma has called for earlier and expanded treatment for HIV-positive South Africans, and has urged people to get tested for HIV.

Zuma's turnaround is all the more remarkable because of his personal history. In 2006, Zuma was ridiculed after he testified while being tried on charges of raping an HIV-positive woman that he took a shower to lower the risk of AIDS. He was acquitted of rape.

Computer Keeps Rebooting Itself

If your computer keeps rebooting itself and leaves you frustrated, then read the article to know the common reasons and solutions for the problem.
Many people are often heard complaining, why does my computer keep rebooting itself or my computer keeps rebooting on startup. There could be various reasons why a computer keeps rebooting randomly, like a hardware problem, a virus infecting your system or overheating. Common queries and ways to solve them are discussed below.

My Computer Keeps Rebooting Over and Over

Cause #1
To start with, you should check all your hardware. A loose connection somewhere or a faulty piece of hardware could be the reason, the computer keeps rebooting itself. In case your RAM stick is not fitted properly, or is corrupt, the computer displays an error message on the screen and keeps rebooting itself. The same problem occurs with a hard disk. You can use 'Memtest86' to run a hard drive check.

Cause #2
You may at times come across an error message on your screen, like a system failure error, before rebooting by itself. There is a particular solution to this type of problem. You should first go to the My Computer icon and right click on it. Select properties, and a window will appear on your screen. Click Advanced tab → Start Up and Recovery → Settings. After clicking the settings option, you will have to uncheck the box next to Automatically Restart. Click OK twice. This will prevent the computer from rebooting itself and you can redress the issue.

Cause #3
A different way to tackle the problem of 'computer keeps rebooting itself', would be to restart your computer in the Safe Mode. Allow the computer to boot fully and let your windows operating system load fully. Now, if your computer keeps rebooting itself even in the safe mode, there is a problem either with the operating system or hardware. And if your computer is not rebooting itself in safe mode, the problem is related to certain software.

Cause #4
Over heating is another reason why your computer keeps rebooting itself. Not many people pay attention to this aspect though. The fan responsible for keeping the CPU cool, may be malfunctioning or there could be dirt settled between the fan and CPU. Any one of these could be the reason for your problem. Either clean the fan area, or replace it if necessary. Try providing proper ventilation for your CPU, so that it stays as cool as possible.

Cause #5
You computer could reboot on it's own if you have installed improper drivers. Right click on the 'My Computer' icon, and click on 'Properties' from the menu list which appears. A new window will open. Select the 'Hardware' tab, and click on 'Device Manager'. A list will be displayed on the screen in which you will have to check all categories. Is you see any red or yellow warning icons, make sure you update that particular driver from the internet. Read more on what to do when your computer keeps restarting on its own.

My Computer Keeps Rebooting on Startup

The most common reason why a computer keeps rebooting on startup is a malicious code. Your system could be infected with computer viruses, which may have tampered with your operating system settings and system files. To get rid of them and to prevent any future invasion, keep your antivirus software regularly updated.

A particular type of computer virus, known as 'bar311.exe', could be the reason your computer keeps rebooting on startup. You can check for yourself if this is the reason. Go to 'Run' in the start up menu, type 'cmd' and hit 'enter'. If your computer restarts after hitting 'enter', this virus is present in your system. To get rid of this virus, you need to perform a small registry tweak.

My Computer Keeps Rebooting After Shutdown

To solve the problem of computer restarting on it's own after shutdown, you should follow the procedure given in option 2, under 'My Computer Keeps Rebooting Over and Over', to uncheck the automatic restart box. If the problem still persists, there could be a hardware problem causing your computer to reboot after shutdown.

On "Two Scoops of Raisins" from "Can I Borrow a Dollar," Common pays homage to Larry Johnson's UNLV squad when he spits, "I'd share a scoop, Runnin shit like Rebels/You can call me Barney, cause I took your Fruity - Pebbles."
